KATARAKT focuses on ‘Katarraktis’ a coastal village in the Greek island of Chios located 11 km across Turkey, relating its name to the eye disease of 'cataract’. As many Turkish people who cannot return back home visit ‘Katarraktis’ to look at their villages across, the film uses the wordplay to talk about blurred vision, memory, migration and borders.
